Plot[]
“I’m so excited!” squealed Gwen as they walked into the Mall.
“Seriously?” said Ben, “We have a Mall just like this in Bellwood.”
“No, we do not!” Gwen retorted, “30 Clothes stores, a whole floor dedicated to a food court, an indoor amusement park and a movie theatre!” “So?” said Ben.
“And one of the world’s biggest arcades,” Gwen said smugly.
“Alright, I’m sold,” Ben said excitedly.
As they walked through the large mall, Steven stopped in front of a jewelry store and stared in stunned silence, “U-uh… Pearl???” Pearl looked at the jewels on display and grabbed Steven, “Try not to think about it too much.”
“Hey everyone, check it out!” said Amethyst, she pointed toward a short man on a stage.
The small man revealed a pocket watch, “Many men have tried and failed to unlock the secrets to the Human Mind. No one can control the unlimited potential that lies within the cerebral cortex, no one… except me, that is.”
“Oh please,” scoffed Pearl.
“To demonstrate the spectacular powers I wield in my hand, I’ll need a few… volunteers.”
“C’mon Steven!” said Ben, grabbing his arm and running up to the stage.
On the stage, besides the hypnotist and the two boys, were a few adults, the hypnotist walked in front of the group and began swinging his pocket watch back and forth, “When I snap my fingers, you’ll be completely under my control”
Ben leaned over to Steven, “What a load of stuff am I right Ste-”
The man snapped his fingers, everyone on stage straightened out. The audience gasped.
“You are now under the complete control of Sublimino!” the short man said, he turned to Steven, “When I snap my fingers yet again, you will become a small, crying baby!” he snaps his fingers.
Steven’s gemstone glows as he shrinks down to less than a third of his size and began crying. Sublimino was astonished, the Crystal Gems looked to each other nervously, “U-uh, When I snap again you’ll be back to your normal self,” he snapped again and Steven grew back into a Teenager.
Sumblimino went to Ben, “You. When I snap my fingers you’ll become a chicken!” he snapped and in a flash of Green, Ben became a 7-foot tall, anthropomorphic Chicken alien, he began walking around the stage bobbing his head and clucking, Sumblimono snapped again and turned him human, the audience stood and clapped, Sublimino shook off the surpise and bowed, saying to himself, “These two will be quite useful,” he straightened out, “I shall now return control to these fine citizens!” he snapped his fingers.
“What was that?” said Max.
“I-I don’t know,” said Pearl, “Steven’s age changed before, but that Sumblimino human seemed to have control over his and Ben’s powers!”
“Uh, what are you guys talking about?” asked Ben.
“Wuh? Well, we were talking about… nothing,” said Pearl.
“We should go,” said Garnet bluntly.
“Why?” asked Steven, “We just got here.”
Light reflected in Garnet’s visor, “I have a bad feeling about that man.”
They all turned to Sublimino, who was intently staring at Ben and Steven.
“...Yeah, let’s go,” said Ben.
They left the mall, the kids went to a curb and sat down to talk.
“The gems seemed really freaked out back there, what happened when we were out?” Asked Ben.
“Well,” Gwen started, “Steven turned into a literal baby…”
“...And Ben turned into a giant buff chicken.” Connie finished.
“WHAT!?” the boys said simultaneously.
“It was really creepy…” said Gwen, “It seemed like real mind control. I wonder if he was a magic user like Charmcaster…”
“I hope we aren’t cursed!” said Steven.
Ben scoffed, “I’d think we’d know if we were cursed, Steven,” he stood up, “How about we go play some videogames in the RV?”
“Yeah!” said Steven, taking a sudden shift in mood, “I got Loney Blade Battle Arena!”
“Lonely Blade!?” Said Ben, disgusted, “Nah, we’re playing Sumo Slammer Smackdown!”
Steven gave a long, exaggerated gasp, “Sumo Slammers!? That’s a ripoff of Lonely Blade!”
“YOU TAKE THAT BACK!” Ben yelled.
“Ishiyama’s character arc in part 4 CLEARLY copied Lonely Blade’s from Part 2,” Steven retorted.
“They’ll probably be at this for a while,” said Gwen, rubbing her forehead. Ben and Steven continued arguing while walking into the RV.
They eventually got tired of arguing and went to bed, where they slept peacefully… until 12:00 midnight. A loud, bell-like noise rang through the air, various people who volunteered for Sublimino’s show stood up, their eyes glowing yellow… including Ben and Steven. The boys, along with all the other hypnotized civilians made their way back to the Mall.
“Ahahaha!” Cackled Sublimino, “Go my minions! Steal all the valuables, and next, we’ll go after the Bank!” He looked over and saw Ben and Steven, “You two, to me now.” Ben became a small turtle alien and teleported to Sublimino. Steven glowed pink and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, “Amazing!” he said, “Monster boy… make me a sandwich.” Ben’s form turned into something resembling a velociraptor, and he sped off and returned with a perfectly made sandwich.
“Hah! Outstanding!” said Sublimino, “Pink boy, I can’t have a sandwich without a drink.”
He ran off and returned with a drink, Sublimino took a long sip and sighed, “I could get used to this,” he looked back at Ben, “Turn into something funny.” Ben became a short, fish-like alien with 2 small legs, Sublimino burst out in laughter.
Back in Greg’s RV, Pearl emerged from her door, “Ok I’ll just check to see if he’s still breathing. I always get so paranoid leaving him here, a wild animal could get in or-” Pearl saw that his bed was empty, “Steven?” she pulled back his blanket, nothing. She looked all over the RV and couldn’t find him, “STEVEN’S BEEN KIDNAPPED AGAIN!” she yelled. Greg and Connie jolted awake, while Garnet and Amethyst came from their doors.
“We should go get Gwen and Max, then go look for them in the Mall,” said Garnet.
The families grouped up just outside the Mall entrance. Connie looked thru the windows, “They all look like Zombies.” “Do you see the boys at all?” asked Max.
“Hmm,” Connie looked around, and saw 2 beings moving around at insane speeds, “Yeah, I think that’s them.”
“Let’s go,” said Garnet, summoning her gauntlets.
The team burst into the Mall, immediately grabbing the attention of Sublimino, “You there! Weirdly dressed folk! Are you gonna try and get in my way?”
“Remove these humans from your control at once!” Garnet yelled.
“Oh yeah? And what makes you think you’re the ones calling the shots?” Sublimino asked.
“We are the defenders of Earth!” Garnet yelled.
“The Crystal Gems!” yelled Pearl.
“So lay off the humans, chump!” said Amethyst.
“Monster boy, pink child, get rid of those weirdos,” Sublimino commanded.
Ben turned into Diamondhead and shot at the Gems, while Steven threw a shield at Gwen and Max, Gwen used a levitation spell to hold the shield in place. Steven appeared in front of Gwen in the blink of an eye, formed a bubble around his hand and punched her in her face, sending her flying, she caught herself by floating in the air, only to see Steven launching himself in the air, every punch Steven threw was blocked by pink discs created by Gwen.
“I don’t wanna hurt you Steven!” said Gwen, “Just quit punching me please!”
Steven quit punching and landed on the ground.
“Ok, ok, so how about you stop glowing and,” Steven held out his hand and created a polygonal bubble around Gwen, “Uh… Steven?”
Steven began throwing Gwen around the room, ramming her into walls over and over. Steven stared blankly at Gwen while he attacked, Grandpa Max snuck up behind Steven and pinched a pressure point, making him pass out, and his skin returned to it’s normal hue.
“YOU COULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT SOONER!?” Gwen yelled.
“Sorry, sweety!” Max apologized.
Meanwhile, Connie and the Gems were fighting off Ben, he turned into a short, pure white alien.
“What’s this one supposed to do? Cute me to death?” Snarked Amethyst.
Ben split into 4 and let out an ear-piercing screech. “AUGH! ITS WORSE THAN THE WAILING STONE!” Yelled Amethyst.
“I can deal with this!” said Pearl.
“WHAT!?” Amethyst yelled.
Pearl gracefully jumped in the air, she aimed her spear at the clones and took them out one by one, the last remaining Ben turned into a red manta ray alien, it flew past Pearl and shot lasers at Garnet, who blocked the attack with her gauntlets. Ben landed and turned into a large alein made of rocks and flowing with blue electricity.
Pearl gasped, “Oh no… a-a-a Fulmini!!!”
“Pearl! We may need a bit more firepower for this!” commanded Garnet.
Pearl nodded, the two began dancing, their bodies combined into one. They became a tall, four armed gem with big hair, four eyes, and big circular glasses.
‘Well this is a rare occurrence!” said Sardonyx, “A special appearance from the one and only Sardonyx! And you’re about to feel the full force of my elegant power!” Ben created a ball of electricity and threw it at Sardonyx, who summoned a hammer (formed from Garnet’s Gauntlets and Pearl’s Spear) and deflected the ball back at Ben.
Ben was pushed back a bit but began running at the fusion, making a sword out of electricity, and swung at Sardonyx. She elegantly dodged the flurry of attacks and kept hitting him with her hammer. Ben began stumbling, probably due to the intense headache he was getting, Amethyst snuck behind him and spin dashed into the symbol on his chest, turning him Human.
“NO NO NO!!!” Yelled Sublimino, “YOU FOOLS RUINED EVERYTHING!!!”
“Fo sure bro!” said Amethyst.
Pearl pointed her spear at him, “Now release the rest of these humans or face the consequences!”
Sublimino rubbed his chin a bit, “How about instead… I have all my minions attack you.”
The Gems all gasped, as they were tackled by a hundred people.
“We can’t hurt them!” said Pearl, “They’re mind controlled but they’re still humans.”
“Yeah, they’re too squishy to fight!” said Amethyst. “I’ll handle him!” said Gwen, creating a staircase out of pink platforms and got to the same floor as Sublimino, who yelped and ran away. Gwen made a rope out of Magic and reeled him in, suspending him upside down.
She took his pocket watch, “I’ll take this… what the…” on the back of it was a gemstone, it reflected the light in a very strange way and changed colors when looking at different angles, “Oh my gosh…” she threw the watch to Pearl, “Is this one of those corrupted Gems you told me about?”
Pearl examined it, “Oh my, an Ametrine!” she bubbled it and sent it away.
“How did you get that?” Gwen yelled, but Sublimino was completely passed out.
“Ha! The dork couldn’t even handle being defeated,” Amethyst joked.
Gwen went over to Ben as he woke up, “You ok cuz?”
“Is… hero time?” Ben slurred.
“Yeah you’re fine”
“Wait, was that guy mind controlling me again?” asked Ben, “I didn't do anything embarrassing did I?”
The Crystal Gems cringed.
"Let's just be glad this is over," said Max.
Gwen chuckled," Yeah, until the next random person does something stupid."
"Until then, let's get Steven and Ben to bed," said Pearl, " they look exhausted.
Ben and Steven are carried back to the RVs, exhausted from their long, long, night.
